A similar problem was discussed on the net in 9/89 under ISC.
Herewith extracts from the article that answered it the best:

|The third field (number of sub-devices supported by driver) must be
|changed to a 2 to enable the modem control ports. Also, I've had problems
|depending upon the order the lines are given. What works (with 386/ix
|2.0.2) is:
|
|asy Y 2 7 1 4 3f8 3ff 0 0
|asy Y 2 7 1 3 2f8 2ff 0 0
|
|After the kernel is built and you've re-booted you should have the following
|device files:
|
|crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 3, 0 Sep 6 22:50 /dev/tty00
|crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 3, 1 Sep 6 22:48 /dev/tty01
|crw--w--w- 1 uucp root 3, 16 Sep 6 22:50 /dev/ttyd0
|crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 3, 17 Sep 6 22:48 /dev/ttyd1
